I think the safety issue is only your justification. I think its more about inflicting authority over people that rub you the wrong way. A single call to the police, alright fine. But youre calling them back for updates on the case...high fives all around..."Honey, I caught the bad guy, I'm a hero"!
you can say "what if" for anything...
What if the guy was rushing to the hospital?
What if someone died or crashed because the cops where called?
